That's exactly what I got from the trailers. Colin's reveal that this was a planet-wide infestation of aliens that had decimated all of humankind was a surprise reveal (to me, anyway). I think that's a significant spoiler to most (though spoilers don't bother me much, personally).I don't think Malcolm's description is bad, but I also think that there's the potential to get the wrong idea -- it could leave the reader with the impression that only this one specific family is dealing with a threat that's specific to them, rather than giving a more accurate impression that society at large has collapsed due to a planet-wide thread against all of humanity.
